It was busier today than my last pics two weeks ago, must be more people on holidays. You tend to get mainly private boats on this canal as it doesn't really go anywhere except Preston unless you want to cross the Ribble. Also it has no locks. When we lived in the midlands there were loads of hire company boats. We once won a long weekend trip and managed to hit a bridge and another boat during that time. The company who had donated the holiday were not best pleased...
Its the water, it can be very slippery, and boats don't have any brakes.
